Edward "Ted" Maidman (Veteran WWII)
Peacefully on Monday, August 28, 2006 at the Oshawa General Hospital, surrounded by his loving family, in his 82nd year. Beloved husband of Joan for 59 years. Adored father of Marie and Margaret (Jim Rhodes). Always "Old Gramps" to Ted Girard (Marnie), Jake Cotter (Ellen), and Becca Rhodes. New "Great Old Gramps" to Sam Girard and Jeanne Cotter. Ted was a veteran of World War II, serving aboard the HMCS Skeena and HMCS Ottawa in the North Atlantic. He was a proud member of the Navy Club of Oshawa and the Royal Canadian Legion. His interest in people started at an early age with his involvement in Scouts Canada and continued throughout his life with Canadian Master's Running, Oshawa Cycle Club, Kiwanis, and the Senior Citizens' Centres.
Family and friends will be received at the MOUNT LAWN RECEPTION CENTRE, 21 Garrard Rd., Whitby (just north of Hwy 2) from 6-9 pm on Wednesday, August 30, 2006.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Ted's memory may be directed to the Sea Cadets - HMCS Skeena, Port Hope (905) 665-0600 or to the charity of your choice.
For Those in Peril on the Sea
(William Whiting)
Eternal Father, strong to save
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave.
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep
Oh hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy word
Who walked'st on the foaming deep
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep.
Oh hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease
And give, for wild confusion, peace
Oh hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
O Trinity of love and power
Our brethren shield in danger's hour
From rock and tempest, fire and foe
Protect them wheresoe'er they go.
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
